Located on a desolate and dusty plane near the ancient Ziggurat of UR, the Nassiriyah Truck Stop is proposed as a modern day oasis along one of Iraq’s most dangerous highways. The project is intended to become an economic seed for the local community by proving space and microfinance grants for family-owned businesses, as well as vital services and supplies for Iraq’s trucking community.
